Fight Sugar Cravings

7. Reach for fruit. Keep fruit handy for when sugar cravings hit. You’ll get fiber and nutrients along with some sweetness. And stock up on foods like nuts, seeds and dried fruits.
8. Supplement with amino acid L-glutamine. L-glutamine helps to reduce, and even eliminate, sugar cravings. It also helps to heal the digestive tract and supports the immune system. If you’re on medication, talk with your health care practitioner before supplementing.
9. Choose quality over quantity. If you need a sugar splurge, pick a wonderful, decadent sugary food. But keep it small. For example, choose a perfect dark chocolate truffle instead of a king-sized candy bar.
10. Slow down. For one week, focus on your sugar cravings and think about what you’re eating. When you slip, it often results from lack of planning. So slow down and plan.
